How to succeed in community collegeDo you want to succeed in community college? Do you want to transfer to an Ivy League or Tier 1 university? Whether you want to be a top student or moderately successful, I can show you how to succeed in community college because I’ve already done it.

I still remember the night that I was awarded the top student of the honors program at my local community college. It was actually on my birthday. My parents, my sister and Grandpa were in attendance when my name was called, “Chad Agrawal!” Since I was already sitting on the stage (because I was presenting an award on behalf of student government), it was a short walk to the podium as I shook hands with the honors program director and received a nice shiny plaque.

Becoming the top student at community college was a phenomenal experience. If you told me 2 years before that I would become a top student at community college, I would probably laugh in your face. But, to my surprise, it happened. And a bigger surprise what that I actually enjoyed doing it. As a result of my community college success, I was able to transfer to NYU Stern School of Business. And yes, that was an awesome experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Looking back, I realized that if I can learn how to succeed in community college, then I’m pretty sure anyone else can too. It’s just a matter of knowing what to do and following through. But, not everyone is going know what to do. Like me, most people enter community college without a clue of what to do. And unfortunately, you won’t be very successful by sticking to the same approach you used in high school. You need to be ready with a plan of what to do.

Lucky for me, I met a top student at community college who told me what to do and exactly what steps to take. To my surprise, they were little, gradual steps that started to make a big difference. Following through on his advice, I was able to be successful in community college and become a top student. And like I said, it was a phenomenal experience. I had a great time.

But, you might not become friends with a top student and get the inside scoop on everything you need to do. So that’s why I created this community college guide, including all the steps on how to succeed in community college and transfer to top universities. This way, you don’t have to meet a few select students. You can learn the exact steps I took to become a top student and receive acceptance into NYU. Then, just follow through to become the most successful student on your campus.
